Keywordsibuprofen, upset stomach 


Ibuprofen upsets my stomach, too.  Makes me feel like I am
getting an ulcer.  Neither Tylenol or aspirin affects me like
that.  When I take an ibuprofen, I take it along with a Tums.
Tums seems to be the most effective antacid for me with
ibuprofen.  Have tried Gelusil Plus, Mylanta, Mylanta II,
Gaviscon, Maalox.

Was using ibuprofen daily for about a year following a serious
auto wreck.  It was hard to get off of it.  Each time I tried
I would have aches and pains and stiffness.  I felt it
was some kind of "rebound" effect.
